I am in awe of the extraordinarily beautiful work of the young Finnish photographer Anni Leppälä — atmospheric, at times a little spooky, and lovely. View more of her portfolio here and here, too. Via saltedwater.ch.

I'm really taken with the beautiful work of artist/illustrator Lydia Hess, who works in mixed media — pen and ink, scratchboard, collage and digital are all part of her very distinctive style. Strong and lovely pieces. You can view her portfolio here, too. Via the ispot.
